Black and Gold Hit the Nike Cortez

Even though Nike’s seminal running shoe, the Cortez, is never far from the forefront of the sneakerverse, sometimes it’s front and centre. Following the release of Kung Fu Kenny’s House Shoes, now is one of those times.

There’s been some head-turning make-ups, to be sure, but the latest black and gold iteration must be one of the best. The upper is swathed in smooth black suede, while contrast comes by way of a white midsole and gum tread.

The star of the show, though, is the patent gold shining on the Swoosh and heel tab.
